Why Micro-Virality Is the New Social
Épisode 635
vendredi 12 juillet 2024 • Durée 36:08
It’s inevitable. Social media is changing. And if you’re not up to date with the trends, your strategy might be left in the dust. Since Gia Lee, the Chief Strategy Officer at NinetyEight, was last on the show, we wanted to hear about her perspective on the top trends today and how marketers can appeal to Gen Z audiences.
Full Episode Details
Gia Lee, the Chief Strategy Officer at NinetyEight, is a breath of fresh air in the social media space. As a Gen Z marketer herself, she’s already making waves in the industry with her unique insights into how brands can tap into younger markets (without sounding like that Steve Buscemi meme…)
In this episode, we hear a bit about her career story and what the top trends in social are today. The biggest shift she’s seen is a move away from big, mainstream trends that take over social. Now, niche-virality is the way forward. A niche trend might not reach everyone… but does it need to?

16:57 - Has Gen Z broken the marketing funnel?
